UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings 2019 Annual Conference - Challenges and Opportunities: Moisture and the Built Environment

About this event

The conference will review the work of the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB) alongside presentations about moisture in buildings by expert guest speakers from industry and academia.

The conference is free to attend, but places are limited. We hope that you and your colleagues will join us for this event, to learn about our research and training activities, to help us shape the work of the UKCMB for the coming years, and to help us promote moisture-safe building and retrofit across our industries. Please register before 25 October. All bookings will be acknowledged and joining instructions will be circulated before the event.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference,

Hector Altamirano, Peter Rickaby, Yasemin Aktas, Valentina Maricioni and Colin King (the UKCMB management team).
